Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Meanwhile, combine 1 cup diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1 tsp minced jalapeño in a bowl. Stir gently and refrigerate until ready to serve.
